Introducing SEA in Myanmar

Now is the time for introducing strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in Myanmar, according to the country’s Ministry of Environment (MONREC). To start this process, SIDA and the NCEA organised a high level awareness-raising seminar on SEA. This event was attended by eight Myanmar agencies and the deputy Ambassador of the Netherlands in Myanmar. Afterwards, the staff of these agencies followed a three-day SEA training. MONREC has announced that it will start to develop an SEA procedure and guidance.
